All You Need To Know About Hojicha
Did you know?
Hojicha is a Japanese green tea that originated in Kyoto 100 years ago.
Unlike traditional green teas, Hojicha is roasted after the leaves are steamed. Along with removing all bitterness, the roasting process gives Hojicha its signature earthy aroma, its reddish-brown color and a unique smoky taste.
Since it is low in caffeine, Hojicha is the perfect alternative to coffee for those seeking a warm and toasty drink in the afternoon or evening.
